Abstract

A method and apparatus for reconstructing a ligament. The apparatus including a graft ligament support block which comprises a body, and a graft hole and a transverse fixation pin hole extending through the body, with both the graft hole and the transverse fixation pin hole preferably extending substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body. Further including an installation tool for inserting the graft ligament support block into the bone tunnel and, while supporting the graft ligament support block in the bone tunnel, forming a transerse tunnel the host bone, with the transverse tunnel the host bone being aligned with the transverse fixation pin hole the graft ligament support block.
